Nav Level 1 - Customer Success

Since implementing Adaptive Insights, our business managers have more control and are able to see any changes that they make immediately. This has increased ownership and accountability for our business managers.

Melissa Sutcliffe, National Manager of Finance

  • With forecasting, rough estimate data instead of accurate numbers make a business outlook as clear as a hazy crystal ball. Engineers Australia, a nonprofit professional organization, faced that dilemma. Lengthy manual processes involving Excel limited the depth of forecasts, leading to lack of confidence in data accuracy and reconciliation. After implementing Workday Adaptive Planning software, business managers at Engineers Australia gained more control and visibility in budgeting processes. The increased ownership and accountability led to ‘wow’ moments for budget managers, transforming budgeting into an exciting process. The finance team at Engineers Australia gained more understanding of financial data and more time to focus on business strategy.
